Nice, but you posted it on the wrong subforum ;) A moderator will have to move your thread ;)

Has Ecko climbed this vertical wall of your tank? It seems like she would slip right off!

Sometimes when placing leos on such a color of substrate the dye rubs off and turns their bellies the color of the substrate. What is this substrate called?

I know that it is difficult to lightly coat mealies with calcium with D3. By just leaving the powder in the dish like it seems to be, you run the risk of vitamin D3 overdose. Do you have a shallow dish of pure calcium in the tank? The calcium with D3 is to lightly dust the prey with 2-3x per week. There are necessary reasons for having both kinds of calcium. Maybe you already do?

Calci-sand is a H-U-G-E no for leopard geckos :yikes:. It is a very bad idea to get a leo used to eating the substrate for his/her calcium requirements.

You need to lightly dust her prey with a phosphorus-free calcium with D3 2-3x per week. She needs a 100% pure calcium in her tank 24/7.

I am unfamiliar with limestone flower calcium??

What are the temperatures in her tank?

I would also remove that styrofoam background. When I saw your pic in which one of your gecko is climbing on this background, I just thought there were risks for the gecko to fall from there and get hurt. I keep AFTs and don't let them climb for the same reason, a broken bone in such cases is the sort of thing which may happen ;)

A broken bone will cost you a bomb to amputate and the prognosis is not good.
Also, PLEASE get rid of that sand and that wall!
The wall is far too high up and not even could she loose her footing the smallest vibration in the house or fright could knock her off which could result in her ending up crushing/twisting/fracturing/breaking her very delicate limbs in the fall.
If you must insist on having her climb, please switch to a reptile carpet wall thats less than half the hight of that.
